API

UUID

Platforms: All

A UUID is a globally unique token; when represented as a string, they look something like 18ADF182-7B12-4FA1-AF0B-6032108C0AE8. Forge already uses UUIDs internally to ensure your extension doesn't conflict with others; this method returns a new UUID for you to use as a unique token.

Note

This function is synchronous and returns a value rather than taking a callback.

tools.UUID()

Returns:a string representation of the UUID

getURL

Platforms: All

Resolve this name to a fully-qualified local or remote resource

tools.getURL(name, callback, error)

Arguments:

• name (string) -- unqualified resource name, e.g. my/resource.html
• callback (function(url)) -- will be invoked with the URL as its only parameter
• error (function(content)) -- called with details of any error which may occur
